Ingredients:
- 450g fresh broccoli, cut into florets
- 125g Marcona almonds
- 30ml olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
- Blanch the Broccoli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch them for about 3 minutes until they turn bright green but remain crisp. Quickly drain the broccoli and transfer it to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
- Toast the Marcona Almonds: In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the Marcona almonds for 2-3 minutes until they become fragrant and lightly browned. Keep an eye on them as they can burn quickly. Remove them from the skillet and set them aside.
- Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet, add the olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Add Broccoli and Almonds: Add the blanched broccoli florets and toasted Marcona almonds to the skillet. Toss to coat them evenly with the garlic-infused olive oil.
- Zest and Season: Grate the lemon zest over the broccoli and almonds. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Toss again to combine all the flavours.
- Serve: Transfer the broccoli and almonds to a serving dish. If desired, sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavour.
- Enjoy: This broccoli and toasted Marcona almonds dish is a delightful addition to any British meal. Serve it hot and savour the combination of tender broccoli and the irresistible crunch of Marcona almonds with hints of garlic and lemon zest.
